‘Situational Form in P. Multitudinis for Creative Orchestra’
P. Multitudinis (George Lewis, 2018) is a situational-form work that is also partially open in terms of scale and instrumentation. The work's title comes from Baruch Spinoza’s Tractatus Politicus (Political Treatise), written in 1675-76. In the earliest versions of the score, I described P. Multitudinis as an “open form” work. Open form has been associated with ideas of freedom, particularly with respect to classical music’s historically articulated dialectic with notation. In that sense, a discussion of two of the most radically open-form works, Earle Brown’s December 1952 and John Cage’s 4’33”, allows a consideration of why I navigated away from the open-form rubric toward my current and ongoing development of the notion of situational form.
